There were at least 14 issues of this Canadian pulp in 1941/1942. The
first issue was published in May 1941 under the title Daring
Detective, but the publisher was forced to change the magazine name
to Daredevil Detective Stories because of conflict with the
existing US true crime magazine of the same name.

Despite the title, the magazine had no connection to the character
created and made popular by Don Pendleton in his series of paperback
books on "The Executioner" and featured all new stories in a
more-or-less standard crime adventure fare. The magazine commenced
publication with issue Number 4 of Volume 1, possibly due to the first
issue being published in the fourth month of the year. There were no
issues Volume 1, Numbers 1, 2 and 3.
Last issue just titled The Executioner Mystery Magazine.
